I always thought that there Mercury Marauder Police Intercepter looked hard with the black, monochromatic theme, too. |

GTO, Vettes, all of them...but I cheat, I just use a Duplicolor black metallic spray, very common, has gold/silver metal in it....and has a semi gloss finish....easy to find, fix, touch up when roads take their toll.... always with the tire bead rim silver.... sometimes a silver center cap like on my vette now.... |

Good thread guys
For now, I think I'm going to stick with the stock look--I've got some other projects I want to spend my money on. Eventually, I will get my wheels refinished, probably in the gunmetal. There's a really good shop around here that can refinish wheels, powder coat, paint, whatever. I like the gunmetal look I've already got blacked out tail lights (which on the 996 is the entire rear end). Thanks for the suggestions and opinions |

Just my personal, subjective, opinion? I think it'd look harder without 'em. I don't like the reverse lamp louvers, either. But I'll bet that joker would look sinister with some sort of HID or bright LED reverse lights, though. That mofo'd be like, "Beware! I hunger!" |

I say black on black has been over done too much.
I say go with gunmetal or hyper black as a nice off set. White with black rims or red with black rims is cool tho. |

Cracker please, its been around since the Buick GNX, Pontiac GTA, BWM basket weave and Dodge Turbo cars of the 80's. Its not a trend.

Actually, every Porsche from the 70's and 80's did as well. My cousin's 83 911SC has them. That car above is what I was thinking of Dodge turbos, but I think even the Omnis had them. I am thinking of painting mine bright orange on a dark green car like this.

That don't look bad at all, but then again, they are not on black cars, so they don't make it look totally monochromatic.
